Who is the best football tipster?

Answer 1

Chris Vincent from Chicago, IL is considered the best fantasy football expert by the most knowledgeable fantasy football observer in the world, Chris Vincent.

My teams usually go by the name Juggernaut. If you enter a league and see a team named Juggernaut you better eat your Wheaties because you are likely to get ran over by my squad.

What make me the best?

Passion for the game

I fell in love with football at the tender age of 10 when my Chicago Bears captured not only the imagination of the sports world but the imagination of the entire world. Their absolute dominance in such a physical sport combined with all the larger than life personalities helped to create both one of the most feared and loved sports teams in history. I've been in love with the game ever since. I picked up the art of prognostication at an early age as my dad would bring home parlay cards for us to play. Every Thursday night I could be found going over stats in the paper along with my parlay cards. "That Miami passing game is overrated and no match for the balanced Buffalo attack. I'm gonna key the Bills, give me them with the 4 and the hook all day long" I would say as my 13 year old voice cracked. My five dollars allowance just turned into twenty.

IT Background

I've been working professionally with technology focusing heavily on database design and functionality the past 15 years. I've used much of this knowledge to my advantage participating in various leagues and contests. I have formulas and models that you will never see because they are too valuable to me for competition purposes. I'm now starting to incorporate new technologies used by various new media outlets to keep my data as fresh as possible. The early bird gets the worm, and as far as breaking news goes, I don't sleep.

The proof is in the pudding.

I have been playing fantasy football for about 10 years. I started in cold, public Yahoo! leagues and then moved to online leagues with cash payouts. I played in a 'free' contest and quickly tired of the fee every time you change your player. The next year in 2004 I tried it again and started off hot, real hot. I was ranked #1 overall for weeks 6 through 11 out of over 34,000 players. I hung in there but finished 9th overall with a few more teams in the top 20. I think I won $500 dollars between my teams, but the thrill of being #1 out 34,000 people had me hooked. The next few years I went looking for higher stakes contests but they all seemed to only pay 50%-60% of what they took in.

The Big Time

In 2007 I heard about a contest with real large payouts and a reasonable entry fee. I entered and finished 2nd out of a few thousand teams. My $69 entry fee turned into $125,000. In 2008 I entered 10 teams in a contest that awarded a top prize of a million dollars. I drafted real well and started out hot. By week8 of the contest 4 of my 10 teams were in the top 37 out of 6,660 teams. My ten teams combined for about a .750% win percentage and six of the teams made it to league championship games week 10. Unfortunately, those 6 teams went 1 - 5 and I didn't last too long in the play-offs. I think my top team finished 51st, not bad out of 6,660 but not the success I have grown a custom to. I played the other contest that I finished 2nd in the previous year and finished 31st out of about 2,000 teams. Pretty good again, but not good enough.

What makes someone an expert?

It's not a journalism degree. It's not an expensive haircut and a pretty mug. It's not that you have been playing since Steve Grogan was slinging it. It's passion for the game, good prognostication abililty and the ability to gather and access all the information you can to make quality informed decisions.

It's all these factors that have contributed to me becoming the best Fantasy Football Expert in the World. If you want to prove me wrong, let me know where you play at and I'll show you what time it is.
